What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Caring for patients with schizophrenia poses significant challenges for families. This study examined the relationships between caregiving burden, quality of life, and life satisfaction among family caregivers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023-24 in Mashhad, Iran. Family caregivers who provided care to a patient with schizophrenia for at least six months completed the Zarit Burden Inventory to evaluate caregiver burden, the 12-item Short Form Health Survey to assess quality of life, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale to measure life satisfaction. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: A total of 211 family caregivers participated, with a mean age of 48.17 ± 14.98 years, of whom 130 (61.61%) were female. Caregiver burden was associated with caregiver-related factors, such as lower life satisfaction (β = -1.27, p < 0.001, 95% CI = -1.48, -1.06), employment status, where housewives experienced lower caregiving burden than unemployed individuals (p = 0.039, β = -4.4, 95% CI = -8.65, -0.21), and marital status, where singles experienced lower caregiving burden than married individuals (p = 0.001, β = -7.89, 95% CI = -11.88, -3.90). In addition, patient-related factors such as longer duration of illness (p < 0.001, β = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.20, 0.64) and lack of health insurance coverage (compared to having coverage) (p = 0.023, β = 5.10, 95% CI = 0.71, 9.49) were associated with higher caregiver burden. Together, these variables explained 62.9% of the variance in the total care burden score. Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that the majority of family caregivers of patients with schizophrenia experienced moderate to severe levels of caregiving burden. This burden was associated with lower levels of life satisfaction, employment status, and marital status of the caregiver, as well as longer duration of illness and lack of health insurance coverage for the patient.
